Villa Salma Hotels, Samaná

"Great hotel in the heart of stunning beaches and rocky coast line. Our favorite part of RD."

"Great hotel property. Excellent pool, common areas and restaurant/bar. Well designed and appointed rooms. The problem is the A/C in the room. Not enough capacity and it was always warm inside. This is only March. In summer it will be unbearable ."

"We had a few inconveniences during our stay like a broken AC and clogged toilet. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and attentive to our concerns."

"No se dejen llevar por las fotos hay cargos que no lo notifican en el momento cómo por ejemplo si se queda una persona extra por un solo día en una habitación que tiene cabida de hasta 4 personas te cobrarán un mínimo de 50 dólares por noche otro ejemplo las primeras noches me regalarán café espresso ya en la última cuando pedí uno café me lo cobraron por que no es gratis y sucesivamente no es por el precio lo que me incomoda es la falta de información cuando uno reserva"

"Best experience ever "

"I’m giving this hotel two stars mainly because the beachfront location is beautiful and the staff was genuinely friendly. Unfortunately, friendliness does not always translate into good customer service. We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days, and from day one we had ongoing issues with the air conditioning. It broke down at least twice a day—most often after midnight. We called to report the problem at least six times and requested a room change, but although we were repeatedly told it would be fixed or that we’d be moved, neither ever happened. Until the final day—less than an hour before checkout—there was someone at the room trying to repair it. Hot water was also inconsistent.About half the time, there was no hot water when we tried to shower. Housekeeping was unreliable as well. The room was not cleaned properly, dirty towels were left behind on one occasion, and on another, clean towels weren’t provided at all. When we requested them, it took over two hours to receive replacements. The buffet food was mediocre and repetitive, with little variety from day to day. We tried two à la carte restaurants: the Mediterrenas restaurant was excellent, both in food and service, while the Fusion restaurant had good service but very disappointing food. In conclusion, I would only recommend this hotel if you’re primarily looking for direct access to a beautiful beach and friendly staff. However, if food quality and timely resolution of issues are important to you, this may not be the best"

"Good view of the ocean. Great beach, pool, music most nights. If you want much else it's a 15 minute taxi ride into town."
